Brilliant dish as part of an Indian feast with friends, or just sitting on the sofa in pjs, watching Queens Gambit and eating a bowl of it on its own. It’s the power of squeaky cheese. This is enough for 2 if you’re not having anything else with it. And for 4 as a side dish.

• 2 tbsp veg oil
• 220g firm paneer, cut into small cubes
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cm piece of ginger, grated/minced (highly recommend a microplane grater for this!)
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 tsp garam masala
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 300g spinach, washed and roughly chopped
• 50ml single cream
• ½ tsp salt

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a deep frying pan, pop in the paneer and fry until golden. Then remove from the pan
2. Add the other tbsp oil and the cumin seeds. Fry for 1 min until you can smell them, then add the onion
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-8 mins until the onion is golden and completely soft
4. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cook for 1 min and then add the garam masala and turmeric. Season with salt
5. Add the tomato to the pan and stir everything together. Cook with the lid on for 10 mins, stirring occasionally and adding a small amount of water if it’s starting to catch
6. Put the spinach in the pan and carefully stir into the mixture – you might have to do this in stages
7. Once spinach is wilted, pour in the cream, a splash of boiling water and the paneer cubes and combine
8. Heat until bubbling and serve straight away
